The Hong Kong Observatory lowered the rainstorm warning signal from red to amber at 7.47am on Monday, while the Education Bureau announced the suspension of classes at all morning and full-day schools.
The forecaster said that, under the influence of an active southwesterly airstream, heavy showers and squally thunderstorms were initially expected to persist over the vicinity of the Pearl River Delta on Monday.
Classes at afternoon schools would proceed as usual, the bureau said.
The rainy weather comes in the wake of Typhoon Noul, which triggered a No 9 signal for six hours on Sunday morning.
It approached over the weekend and came within 80km (50 miles) of Hong Kong – the third-closest approach to the city since 2000.
The red rainstorm signal was issued at 5.55am on Monday.
